Abstract
- The article discusses the emergence of environmental history as a field of study, with a focus on New York City.

These books shed light on the challenges and complexities of waste management and emphasize the need for sustainable solutions. The article emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of environmental history and the importance of understanding the city's past to address its current environmental challenges.
